The best way to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. Thank you so much to Nagavalli and Antone's Nightclub for hosting Vibe Vault: Global Showcase 2025. To add to the celebration, this gig marked the 3 year anniversary of my WORTHY (EP).
So much love to those I shared the stage with: DJ Crash, AZXO, Felt Out, Diversity Band, Lara Price, and Nagavalli. This truly was the gig of a lifetime. This is one of many Austin stages I used to visit and dream of playing.

What a full circle moment! Stubb's is where I saw my first concert after I moved to Austin, Texas. To perform after THE DRIVER ERA was just the cherry on top. Thank you to everyone who came and supported me! Special shout out to Max Mondini for sharing this stage with me. This performance wouldn't have been possible without my lovely band mates, Tom Barvick, Ricci Valice, and Brett Marcom.

I had the incredible honor of playing alongside local and internatiojnal AAPI artists at YAR (Young Asians Represent) Festival at Round Rock Amp. This experience allowed me to connect with fans, as well as local press, to share my musical journey. I hope to continue this momentum to other iconic stages and festivals soon!

I had the pleasure of playing at Frontyard Brewing (4514 Bob Wire Rd, Spicewood, TX 78669) during the SXSW Season and again during Christmas season. These were by far my favorite gigs. The atmosphere at Frontyard paired with the engaging crowd made for such a fun show. This gig reminded me how much I love to play live. I will definitely be returning.
I was so honored to perform at the inaugural Artivism Fest in Austin, Texas during SXSW season. In the heart of Austin, I was able to play among many other established artists on the steps of the Capitol of Austin. It was a pleasure to be interviewed by many different organizations such as OCS-Greater Houston. Getting to perform my original unreleased music for a good cause was such a great experience.
I have been attending Poodies Roadhouse (22308 State Hwy 71, Spicewood, TX 78669) No Bad WednesDays Open mic Nights @ 8pm since 2020. This was a great way for me to explore my new hometown after moving states during the Pandemic. Poodies allowed me to work on my stage presence and overall confidence performing live. It is always a postive experience playing at Poodies.
Starting off my October event list strong, I had the pleasure of headlining Wheatsville's Chill n' Grill event on Guadalupe Street. This opportunity allowed me to access exposure to their 16.7k following via social media.
This was my first time playing at Circle Brewing (2340 W Braker Ln Ste B, Austin, TX 78758)-or a brewery in general! It was also the first time I got to play for my big brother. Getting to show him how I've improved performing live was such a surreal experience. He was definitely the best roadie I've had yet.
Every Tuesday from 7:30-9:30, Cactus Cafe (2247 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX 78712) hosts a Songwriters Showcase. This welcoming environment of fellow musicians and songwriters allows me to perform unreleased originals. Jake Farr, alongside a band of sound technicians, bartenders, and friends make this weekly event possible. I am so grateful to have found this community of artists in Austin, Texas.
On Friday September 16th, I had the opportunity to open for Winkermill at Wanderlust Wine Co (610 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX 78701). Since then, I have been asked to perform on a regular basis! Check the calendar to see where I'll be performing next :))
